With many restaurants closed at rest stops, the food trucks will help keep truckers nourished as they supply the food and other essential goods that Californians need while coping with the coronavirus crisis.

At the start of the state's stay-at-home order, food trucks were briefly banned from serving food, but that's now rescinded.

Truckers are now hoping other states follow California in allowing food trucks at rest stops as well.

Under the governor's order, which lasts for 60 days, food trucks that want to operate at freeway truck stops must obtain permits from Caltrans as well as from the local governments where the rest stops are located.
